RE: [Discussion Post]: Did Blackbeard the Pirate Intentionally Sink the Queen Anne's Revenge?

in #history6 years ago

The thing about point iii is that the anchor doesn't prove that Blackbeard tried to save the ship. It proves that someone did, but it very well could have been the crew trying to save the ship after Blackbeard ditched them. I am just playing the devils advocate.

I agree with i and ii though.

Sort:  

That is a good point that hadn't occurred to me. Even if Blackbeard had abandoned ship, his crew still would have wanted to escape from the ships that were hunting for them.
